Unfortunately for me, today is not gonna be a happy diary entry.. My day started out perfectly fine, but towards the end of the day i found out about some really shocking stuff that made me upset.
Spent around 15 minutes alone under the light drizzle of rain with tears rolling down my cheek and trying finding a cab to get home. Luckily it was dark and i don't think any passerby saw my tears, i cannot imagine how embarrassing if anyone did.
But in the end everything was resolved. At the end of the day when i'm removing my makeup, i was shocked to see that my mascara did not smudge at all after all that crying!

Dear No-No-Falsies diary,
It's Day 3 into my pledge to be nicer to my lashes and i've sucessfully steered off my normal makeup routine with falsies and all and only applied mascara. I've also been trying out Ettusais' new treatment product to protect my lashes before i apply my mascara!
Moisturises skin around the lash line with Chrysanthemum Extract.
Thickens & strengthens lashes, prevents lashes from falling with Coriander Fruit Extract.
And most importantly ...
We all want long fluttery lashes, don't we? (:
There are 4 main causes that contributes to stress to your lashes that might cause your lashes to fall off etc .. !
Oh no!!! I expose my lashes to these damaging causes every single day!
I'm gonna use it from another 2 weeks - 1 month or so and update you girls if my lashes have grown longer/thicker! hope they would be stronger thou, my lashes are always falling off. ):
It's finally Day #02 yo! Just 3 more days to go, then my falsies can "see the light" again!
Yesterday on my No-No-Falsies Diary i blogged about how i create volume & longer lashes with the new BI-TA-BA mascara, It's common knowledge that we should not go to bed with a face full of makeup. Even though most Ettusais' makeup products has skincare benefits too, it's still a NO-NO to go to bed with even a trace of makeup on!
Woohoo! Ettusais has a new formula for their eye makeup remover:
The old hyper make-off has been discontinued and replaced with the Ettusais Speedy Eye Make-Off! Which is my favorite eye+lip makeup remover now! *Kicks old Hyper Make-off into the bin* - i know! I'm so.. 喜新厌旧!
But just listen to why i'm loving it first before you judging me ok! It removes eye makeup, MELTS your stubborn waterproof mascara oh-so-quickly.. (thus the name SPEEDY eye make-off) Does not sting your eyes, perfect for people with sensitive eyes like yours truly!
Ok let me show you how i remove my eye make-up:
Pour at least this amount on the cotton pad..
Close your eye and press the cotton pad on your eye for at least 5 seconds, here's how the cotton pad looks like after soaking for 5 seconds!
Fold it and slide it in between your eyebag area and your lower lashes
Pour some more Speedy Eye Make-Off on the cotton pad and slowly try to soak and rub the mascara off gently..
TA-DAH!!! All gone in the matter of seconds.
I remove the rest of my makeup with the Gentle Make-Off, which slowly melts off all my foundation.. blusher.. you apply it on your face and rub it in gently.. and you'll actually see your foundation and blusher "floating up" onto the surface of your skin..
I know i'm weird but it's just very satisfying to watch all the makeup "floating up" from your pores like that! hahahah It's like your know you can actually see for yourself that all traces of makeup is being removed from every pore!
Lol, The other day at the Ettusais Lash party when the Ettusais makeup artist wanted to show me how to remove my eye makeup with the Speedy Eye Make-Off, i tried to pull off my falsies and i had like 4 people including my Ettusais nanny going "NOOOOO! DON'T PULL DON'T PULL!!!"
I know tugging my falsies off causes lashes to fall off due to the stress off pulling the falsies adhesives off your eyelid/lashes.. But the way the 4 of them shouting.. was SUPER comical! Like I was murdering my lashes at that instant..
So you should soak off your falsies in the same method above too!
Remove every trace of that stubborn waterproof mascara with Speedy Eye Make-Off, retailing at all Ettusais Counters at $22 for 100ml.
So it's day one since i've pledge to care for my lashes & to go falsies-less for 5 days, read here if you've no idea what's going on: http://bit.ly/aHukwv Going out with the Nadnut, Esther, Jacelyn tonight... NO FALSIES! HOW AM I GONNA SURVIVEEEEE?!
I remember 1-2 years ago i did eyelash extensions and after that one month of beautiful, lush .. well.. extensions.. i removed them and realized most of my real lashes have fallen off!!! ):
We all know that with prolong use of falsies, lash extensions.. the eyelash glue and the tugging action from removing our falsies damages our real lashes and causes them to fall off! I don't wanna have botak lashes again!
Ettusais introduces their newly launch mascara, BI-TA-BA!! (Which means "Beautiful Bundles" -of lashes.) BI-TA-BA is a volumizing & lengthening mascara.
Hoho, i shall put my sparse lashes to test, the mascara comb is very special!
The thicker comb teeth creates volume, and the thinner comb teeth ensures that the mascara reachs every single lashes especially the inner + outer corner of the lashes!
- that's me with only my eyebrow drawn. :x
Just doing a simple purple + brown eye look today! Purple all over and brown on the crease. Oh btw if you haven't noticed, I've just chopped 2 inches of my hair yesterday!
Crimped my lashes before application of BI-TA-BA mascara!
My must-have item after application of mascara, Panasonic heated curler! After crimping my lashes with the normal eyelash curler, my lashes won't keep the curl for long, but with the heated curler it does!
I've been BI-TA-BA-ED! :D Create your MONSTER LASHES with BI-TA-BA! You can find them at Ettusais counters now retailing at $38.
Received a surprise package from Miuee (www.miuee.com) today! Wanna see what's in the package? (: I know! I'm so excited! Love ripping those nicely wrapped packages, lol sorry to the person who's wrapping the packages, waste your effort of wrapping the pretty packages!
I got this pretty snug black dress..
...and this super adorable baby pink polka dot romper! I know.. another romper.. just kill me!
Lots of pretty apparels! Tops, dresses, pretty cardigan/jackets...
Only for this weekend, Miuee's gmarket mini shop is having $5 off every item , free velcro pad (love this velcro pad, use it when i'm doing makeup to get my hair of my face.. or when i'm washing my face and i don't wanna get my fringe wet!)
And Miuee is also having a $2 discount for every item, (Not total bill but every item) because it's their 1 year birthday!!! :D
I received my invitation in the mail the other day to the Ettusais Lash party ... to help look for Ettusais' missing lashes!
Don't worry, of cos we found it in the end! (:
We heard all about the horro rstories about lashes dropping one by one until botak.. So all 8 of us, the Ettusais ambassador were presented with a challenge!
...We had to pledge to take care of our lashes.
AND NO FALSIES FOR THE NEXT 5 DAYS!!!!
Awwww, Sorry falsies, you're gonna take the backseat for the next week, it's officially mascara week!
So for the next 5 days i'll be updating my [No-No-Falsies diary] every night, so do remember to tune in to this space for lashes care + eye makeup tips, and how to live without falsies! (:
Remember my last post when i said i'll be attending the City Celebrations 2010, which is a series of concerts held to commemorate the start of YOG?
And i had such an AWESOME time at the 1st concert, saw Electrico our homegrown local band, Kpop band 4Minutes & BEAST.
I'd like to thank the main sponsers of YOG, Samsung who went all out to get these very exclusive VVIP tickets for me! LOVE YOU SAMSUNG!!!
Outfit of The Day:
Flutter sleeve chiffon dress + cutout belt from TheBlogShop, paired with black leggings and pumps!
Lol, met up with Ruiting (aka lovelivfe) to go to the City Celebrations concert, Gothere.sg told me to take MRT to Marina Bay then take bus 402 to Marina Promontory. In the end we got FREAKING LOST! Ended up at Marina South Pier instead, even Ruiting's iphone map says we're at the very end of Singapore. So i go on Gothere.sg to find directions from Marina South Pier to Marina Promontory, Guess what's the search result?!
Gothere.sg told me to "Don't be lazy, It's just a short distance away, just walk!" WTF?! It's not near at all! Luckily for us we got a cab after waiting for 5-10mins. Gothere.sg never even give us a map for directions to walk there after that stupid useless comment!
Happy that we finally found our way to The Promontory, Everyone was in such a high mode, since the kpop bands are starting their performances in an hour's time!
Hehehe, we're super lucky the other bloggers have been there since 4-5pm to "chope seats" and there were two extra seats so we took it, just 3 rows from the stage ok! :D
Our local band Electrico! I still miss it when Amanda Ling was in the band!
Super fun time with the other bloggers + Noel who cracked super lame jokes all night!
Ready for the 5 super cute/hot girls from South Korea?
All of us were going maaaaaad with excitement standing up and getting as near as the stage as possible! The fans behind the VVIP seats are going NUTS and started screaming and a stream of profanity directed at us! Omg concert what.. Should be damn high and jumping around why must sit down! so sad. ):
Omg i think i'm having a girl crush on 4Minute's Ji Yoon. She's mad cute! I've been stuck watching 4minute's MV's the entire week, Ji Yoon is sooooo charismatic! Ahhh, love her short hair.
Makes me wanna go chop mine off.
Had a short interview with the girls from 4Minutes, it was SoHyun's birthday and the crowd sang Happy Birthday to SoHyun in both English AND Korean!
Seng il chook ha hamni da! Seng il chook ha hamni da! Sa rang ha nuen SOHYUNNNNNN.... Seng il chook ha hamni da!!
(Happy birthday song in Korean)
I was gonna wear wedges but it's kinda hard to walk cos my leggings made it so slippery.. So i changed into flats and my mum was like, "yeah.. that's the way mar.. if not how to jump jump jump and shout: ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE!" Lol, my mum must be a fan girl in her time.
And of cos we all shouted ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE!! Can't have enough of their energy and cuteness.
Then it's finally.. BEAAAAAAAAST!!!!
Seriously, Everyone went MAD. Literally MAD with a capital M-A-D.
He's SO CUTEEEEEE!!
After dancing & singing for 4 songs, they were all perspiring like crazy. Better still, One of the members even took off his blazer, woohooo. Feast for us ladies! Kudos to the high energy, jumping around dancing with 100%!
It was so exciting i find myself snapping away the whole night, like 80% of that 2 hours i was viewing the concert on my camera displayscreen snapping photos!
Dirtied my chiffon dress! So sad, hopefully mummy can get the stains off. ):
After that night i was swept into the K POP craze, Ahhhhh, i wanna see more of the other K pop bands!!!! Thanks Samsung for the VVIP tickets once again! (:
